Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

When Shen Zhixiang heard that his fingers were going to be chopped off, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not go against Zhao Wenhao's wishes.

Zhao Mingliang found some paper and pen, and soon a letter of guarantee was handed to Zhao Wenhao.

I came here to play cards tonight, and my main purpose was to avenge Zhao Aiguo.

No matter what, he was still Zhao Wenhao's father. No matter how unbearable he was, the blood relationship still existed. Although Zhao Wenhao despised him from the bottom of his heart, he would not tolerate outsiders bullying him.

Secondly, when he learned that Shen Zhixiang had been staying in Zhaojiayu for several days, playing cards with people every day, and always winning, he became suspicious.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambling cases are frauds. Anyone who always wins in gambling must be hiding something fishy.

Zhao Wenhao didn't want his fellow villagers' hard-earned money to be cheated away by such a person, so he made up his mind and came to meet Shen Zhixiang.

Zhao Wenhao thought that those who cheated in the countryside were not very clever. They just took advantage of the rural people's lack of knowledge.

If someone is really capable, how could he hang around in the countryside? He would have gone to the big city to make a fortune long ago. He would not be interested in the little money in the pockets of farmers.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Wenhao sat down at the poker table, he soon discovered that Shen Zhixiang's methods were so simple.

"Tell us how much capital you have just now and take it away. Let's divide the rest among us." Zhao Wenhao put away his capital and pushed all the remaining money back to the middle of the table.

Zhao Dashan was overjoyed, but felt a little embarrassed to get started.

As for Zhao Haifeng, he didn't say a word.

Zhao Wenhao chuckled, "This is yours, this is Haifeng's, and this is Dagou's. I'm too lazy to count them, just give everyone about the same."

Zhao Dashan was very excited. He didn't have much capital to begin with. Shen Zhixiang had lent him 300 yuan before and later returned it to him.

Now, I have more than two hundred yuan in front of me, which means I have earned more than one hundred yuan for free.

"Wenhao, this is so embarrassing!" Although Zhao Dashan said this, his hands did not slow down and he put the money directly into his pocket.

The same is true for Zhao Dagou.

Instead, Zhao Haifeng felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was his brother-in-law who caused the trouble, and it seemed a little unreasonable for him to accept the money.

Let's put things one by one and Zhao Wenhao is too lazy to bother with it.

"Let's go, Big Dog. You made money today. You are responsible for arranging the midnight snack." Zhao Wenhao put his hand on Zhao Dagou's shoulder and pulled Zhao Mingliang out of the main room.

Zhao Dagou smiled cheerfully, "Midnight snack is no problem. I've been wanting to kill the old hen at home for a long time, just like we're having chicken soup tonight."

In Zhao Dagou's opinion, an old hen was nothing. When dividing the money just now, Zhao Wenhao directly allocated most of Shen Zhixiang's winnings to his share.

This means that he didn't spend a penny tonight and even earned more than three hundred yuan.

It’s more than three hundred yuan. If you go to buy old hens, you can buy dozens of them.

Of course, he couldn't keep the money alone. He would definitely have to give a portion of it to Zhao Mingliang afterwards, otherwise it would seem that he was ignorant.

Silent all night.

The next day, things began to ferment in Zhaojiayu.

Obviously, those who have lost money will come to ask for an explanation.

It's such a small place, it's impossible to hide such a thing from people. Moreover, there were so many people present at the time.

Zhao Wenhao was still in the dark. He had been drinking and eating chicken with Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang until the early hours of the morning before going home to sleep. He had no idea that seven or eight people would surround Shen Zhixiang that morning.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhixiang felt too embarrassed to stay last night and ran away long ago.

As a result, the gate of Zhao Haifeng's house was surrounded by people.

"Wenhao, did you really beat up Shen Zhixiang yesterday?"

In a daze, Zhao Wenhao was pushed awake by someone.

When he opened his confused eyes, he saw that it was Wei Chunlan and Zhao Aiguo standing at the head of his bed.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Wenhao looked confused.

Zhao Aiguo and his wife exchanged a glance, and Wei Chunlan continued, "Last night, you went to play cards, and then you found evidence that Shen Zhixiang was cheating, and ended up beating him up. Is that what happened?"

It seemed like he didn't really do anything last night. It was mainly Zhao Dagou who beat Shen Zhixiang on his behalf.

However, Zhao Dagou also represented himself, so what Wei Chunlan said was not wrong.

"Yes, how do you all know everything!" Zhao Wenhao wiped his eyes, stretched, and sat up.

Wei Chunlan patted Zhao Wenhao's head lovingly. "Zhao Dashan said this morning that many people who were cheated by Shen Zhixiang are going to him to settle their accounts. Your father also wants to go, so I brought him here to ask you."

Zhao Aiguo, who was standing behind Wei Chunlan, was probably too embarrassed to speak.

However, he also knew that his son had gone to avenge him last night. Therefore, he knew that Zhao Wenhao rarely gambled, only hanging out with friends during holidays.

"Don't go. Shen Zhixiang was beaten pretty badly last night. His mouth and nose are bleeding a lot. Consider that little money as his medical expenses."

This matter has passed and Zhao Wenhao doesn't want to care about it anymore.

He knew Zhao Aiguo was angry. He had lost money and was beaten up. Ultimately, it was because the other party had cheated. He couldn't stand this.

But people like Zhao Aiguo are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and he's also a bully at home. If he were to go and settle the score with Shen Zhixiang himself, he probably wouldn't have the guts to do it.

Therefore, he dragged Wei Chunlan to find his son, hoping that she could support him.

However, when he heard Zhao Wenhao say that Shen Zhixiang was beaten to the point of vomiting blood last night, the hatred in his heart eased a little.

Besides, Zhao Wenhao had also said that he would no longer cause trouble for Shen Zhixiang, so he could only give up.

"He was hit that hard, will anything happen?" Wei Chunlan was a little worried.

Zhao Wenhao quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, we've done it with caution. These are just minor injuries. They'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. Mom, this matter is over. I see that many families in our village have already harvested their honeysuckle and are drying them.

"You can help me go out and spread the news for the next two days, and tell everyone that my main purpose of coming back is to collect medicinal herbs, so that everyone can get active. If you don't want to make money at this time, what else are you doing?"

As soon as she heard about making money, Wei Chunlan immediately became interested.

Their family has two mu of land, all of which they planted with honeysuckle this year. Not only their family, but almost everyone in the village has planted a lot more.

Therefore, now everyone is waiting for the harvest.

Now that Zhao Wenhao was back, they felt a lot more relieved. Because of Zhao Wenhao's presence, they could earn more, instead of just selling to the town's purchasing station like in previous years.
